Fresh Air for Baby & Me

Fresh Air for Baby & Me is a 10-module smoking cessation program intended to inspire expecting parents to quit smoking and vaping. Individuals who participate in this program have the chance to learn more about what’s happening inside their bodies during pregnancy. They will learn more about the ways smoking, vaping, or marijuana usage affects their health and the health of others. Participants will walk away with the tools and information they need to quit using these substances.

Fresh Air for Baby & Me sessions are group-oriented and take place in person. Group activities are designed to be engaging and interactive to help parents in the program create a community. Participants will receive text messages for an entire year supporting their journey of quitting. They will also receive a copy of the Fresh Air for Baby & Me 52-week journal. The journal has pages that participants can use to review what they learned in between each session. It also has activities designed to help participants reflect on their reasons for smoking, build healthy habits, keep track, and look back on their progress.
